the GOODS from Gotham Steakhouse & Bar

Vancouver, BC | Gotham Steakhouse & Bar recently launched a barrel aging program as the next step in the evolution of their cocktail craft. By maturing a larger batch of a spirit-forward cocktail in an oak barrel, bartenders can add new qualities and subtleties to existing recipes.

In search of an inaugural “barrel-aged” cocktail, Bar Leader Barry Jackson and the Gotham bar team decided upon an interpretation of the classic Corpse Reviver #2. They took the spirit elements from the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Handbook recipe — gin, Lillet, triple sec, absinthe — and mixed them in precise proportion before leaving them to mature in an oak cask.

Having aged and mellowed over the last six-plus weeks, the cocktail is now ready to be served. The mix is stirred rather than shaken, to retain the spirit-forward character, then finished with lemon oil to add traditional citrus essence without acidity. The resulting delicious version of a classic Corpse Reviver # 2 is available in the Cocktail Bar while quantities last.
